Actually, I’ve given up on the whole ‘Happy New Year’ thing. I have a benchmark year…several of them starting in 2003 and ending around 2006. Those were some seriously sucky years. Beyond sucky….terrifyingly scary. Then Nick was born. That year was ok, maybe could even upgrade that year to ‘fine’, but then, 2000….I think it was 8….sucked pretty bad. I’ve blocked a lot of that year out…
2010 wasn’t the worst year ever, and 2011 wasn’t too bad either, and that’s saying something since Blair didn’t even have a job in the private sector this entire year. He did a heck of a lot around the house, and with the kids and the daycare. He’s a go-er that’s for sure.
So, my thinking is, if this next year doesn’t suck too badly, I’m good with that. It actually would take a lot to ruin a year for me these days. I mean, after you’ve had job losses, and brain damage, financial setbacks, friends moving halfway across the planet, and ruination of relationships, seriously, I’m feeling pretty tough. If you throw in the economy, political crap-ola, and other people’s problems, I’m starting to feel happy to still be mostly sane and still standing.
Sheesh!
What a whiner I am…if I was the kind of person who made resolutions, I might address this defect:)
Too bad.
Don’t make resolutions! It’s a waste of time!
Um,
Have a nice day….
And a
~*Happy New Year!*~
Happy New Year
